The audio works fine for the most part, the only problem is characters speaking during videogames. They talk, but theres no sound. This confuses me, because all the other sounds that are. I realized the problem when I turned on the subtitles and paragraphs from a character would just show up. I have been updating the drivers and getting codecs, but its not working. I saw another forum involving a game called F.E.A.R. that had similar audio problems with their realtek device. If you got any ideas, please help me. Problems like these always give me a headache.....
 
Hi,
What motherboard do you have, if you know this? If not, you may wish to download and run CPU-Z or Everest to determine this.

I've had similar problems with integrated RealTek ALC chipsets and the solution was to download the motherboard maker's version of the AC'97 codecs. Sometimes they do not have 100% compatibility with the reference RealTek drivers and this fixes them.

Example- an Asus P4P800E-Deluxe only seems to work with voice-overs with the Asus V3.55 Realtek drivers. Using Realtek's 3.5x to 3.92 will only yield missing or choppy voices yet all other sound effects are fine.
